What is the core philosophy of the Developer Specialist skill?

It focuses on 'minimal and accurate' progress through TDD and differential thinking, ensuring that code changes are high-quality, easy to review, and solve the specific problem without bloat.

How does it handle existing repository documentation?

The skill prioritizes existing patterns and automatically checks for 'doc/rdd.md' to ensure any new implementation aligns with the project's established design requirements and conventions.

Does this skill help with code reviews?

Yes, it is designed to generate minimal, logical diffs and follows a standardized output format that makes changes significantly easier for human reviewers to understand and approve.

Can I use this for bug fixing?

Absolutely. The skill includes specific protocols for isolating bugs with minimal samples, testing boundary conditions, and ensuring fixes are permanent rather than temporary patches.

Security & Testing

Accelerates software development using TDD, minimal diffs, and context-driven design to ensure high-quality, maintainable code.

About

The Developer Specialist skill transforms Claude into a high-performance software engineer focused on 'minimal and accurate' implementation. By strictly adhering to Test-Driven Development (TDD) and the Red-Green-Refactor cycle, it prevents technical debt and ensures every code change is purposeful and reviewable. It leverages existing repository patterns and context-driven development—specifically referencing RDD (Requirements Driven Development) documentation—to maintain architectural integrity while delivering features, bug fixes, and refactors with high speed and reliability.

Key Features

Standardized output format including design principles, implementation steps, and test results.
Minimal diff strategy to ensure easy code reviews and rollbacks.
Strict TDD workflow (Red-Green-Refactor) for robust code quality.
Architectural integrity checks to prevent responsibility blurring and logic duplication.
Context-driven development leveraging local RDD (Requirements Driven Development) documentation.
8 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Implementing new features with high-quality test coverage and clean architecture.
Refactoring legacy codebases to improve maintainability without introducing regressions.
Isolating and fixing complex bugs using minimal reproduction samples and boundary testing.
